U Conn Huskies 87 Marquette Golden Eagles 72

[LICKING COUNTY FAN]

This was my first Big East game this season and it turned out into a blowout quickly. U. Conn (19-6, 8-6 conf) had no problem smacking Marquette (19-6, 11-3 conf) upside the head en route to the 87-72 win. Leading the winners with 20 points and 6 rebounds. was Jordan Hawkins (Gaithersburg, MD). He was 5 of 8 from behind the three-point line. For the Warriors, Tyler Kolek (Cumberland, RI) had 17 points to go with 4 assists.
